Let me see. Spain fan, you're a Spain fan, come this way. Hold on one second, guys. Let me see, let me see. Let me talk to this guy. Excuse me, can I talk to you really quick? May I talk to you really quick? Can I ask you just, no? No? Okay, let me see. Can I talk to you really quick? Come over here, guys. Hi. Hi, wait, I wanna talk to our, let's come over here, ladies. Hello, I wanna talk to an Argentina and a Spain fan. You too? All right, you guys. So you guys came together? Yes, we did. Here, I'm gonna switch sides with you. How are you gonna, how is this friendship gonna last after Spain, Argentina, World Cup? I don't know, we're still trying to figure it out, but we're here, you know, like trying to have fun. And what are you most excited to see for this day? Messi, of course. I have seen so many number 10 jerseys. I mean, there's so much love for Messi. Just what has this tournament meant for you? I mean, I think it's just been so cool in this area to see everyone come together for the love of the game. That's exactly what I was gonna say. It's just nice to see everybody, you know, just joining and having fun and just enjoying everything, you know what I mean? What's been your favorite part about this World Cup? The vibe, the people, the party, I don't know, everything. It has been one big party. Well, I will let you guys go because I know you're trying to get in, you all had the match. Thank you, guys. And what's your name? Cristal. And what's your name? Andrea. Can I get a final prediction from you guys? I honestly like Argentina, but Spain. 3-1, Argentina 3, of course. Perfect, you heard it here first. Thank you, ladies. Take care. So, yeah, as you can see, it is kind of hectic as everyone's trying to get into the match before kickoff at 3 p.m., but it's been very orderly and, you know, the vibes are high. Everyone's in a really, really good mood. This is the event of all sporting events, really, as you can make an argument. Yeah. This is the biggest sporting event in history, potentially. I mean, I want to go through some figures I saw online earlier today. Average ticket price to get into today's final, topping $12.7,000 according to a spokesperson for CQ who spoke to The Athletic. That's $2,000 higher than the average price for the 2024 Super Bowl between the Chiefs and 49ers. Of course, we are in a stadium of 80,000 people. I did some back-of-the-envelope math courtesy of my iPhone calculator. 80,000 people paying 10 grand a ticket, that comes out to $800 million for this game alone. 800 million, that's a whole Taylor Swift store. Yeah. One game. Amazing. Global interest. And you think about the broadcast rights of all of the sponsors. You think of all the sponsors, the booths out there, and it's so much more, like, we see the videos, it's so much more than about the Super Bowl. It is a big business, which we're talking about here, but it really brought the world together so beautifully. The United States, New Mexico, and Canada as well, the co-host nation.
